...Speaking of fundraising, Rudy Giuliani blazes through the Philadelphia burbs for his first in-state fundraiser today. He is no doubt hoping that the city isn't flat out broke after his top competitors for the GOP nomination blew threw town on Monday and Tuesday for fundraiser. Giuliani is scheduled visit the home of Hilarie & Michell Morgan in Bryn Mawr this evening for a fundraiser organized by the Morgans and Philadelphia businessman and prominent GOP fundraiser Manny Stamatakis. The event is Giuliani's kick-off fundraiser in Pennsylvania.

Among those in attendence tonight should be former Ambassador to Luxembourg Peter Terpeluk, who is hosting a major fundraiser in Washington for Giuliani at his Chevy Chase mansion on Thursday. Terpeluk, who is now a lobbyist at American Continental Group in D.C., is a Pennsylvania native and is one of Giuliani's national finance chairs.

The candidates are all racing around the clock to raise as much cash as possible in advance of the March 31 campaign finance disclosure deadline, after which they have to go public with their first-quarter totals. The totals could make or break a campaign, as the Washington Post writes about today.
